These behaviors were: inattanding morning line, not following school instructions, uncommitment to school fashion, writing and drawing in books, using rude and impolite words with peers, making quarrel with peers and teachers, not following teacher's instructions. Students whose attitudes toward school were positive or neutral were more commited to school discipline than students with negative attitudes. There were significant differences between seventh grade female students and seventh grade male students, these differences were in favor of the female, as well as, there were significant differences between tenth grade female students and tenth grade male students, these differences were in favor of the male. * There were significant differences between students with discipline and students without discipline in achievement. Students from families with small size reported more commitment to discipline than those from big size families. Parental differences and separation negatively affected school discipline, while parental education level positively affected school discipline. There were significant differences in school discipline due to family's economic status, that's students of families with low economic status, were less commited to school discipline than those coming from families with middle and high economic status.
